Mikado Baiqing never expected such a turn of events. During this time, she had personally entered the game in order to change some important historical moments and try to change the fate of being shot down on the ten days.
As a result, she found that no matter how hard she tried, those key events still happened.
She was feeling quite frustrated and desperate when she encountered the legendary Yi, and coincidentally, he died there.
She suddenly felt a sense of relief, even though she had some unease when Zu'an swore to avenge Yi, she was still optimistic overall.
But then this patriarch of the Chang clan suggested that Zu'an become Yi, and instantly the hairs on her body stood on end.
She was actually very confused before, why was it that Zu'an was not Yi, but the Yi she saw in history was the same as him.
Now she finally understood why.
It turns out that nothing about me has changed.
Thinking about everything she had gone through, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, Zu'an was equally dumbfounded: "This is absolutely unacceptable..."
The old patriarch waved his hand, signaling his clansmen to wait for him at a distance. After leading them away, he suddenly knelt down in front of Zu'an.
"What is the clan leader doing? Please get up quickly!" This left Zu'an completely bewildered.
The mermaid queen was also frightened and rushed over to help her up. You know, the old chieftain of the Chang clan had actually been quite kind to her before.
"If you don't agree, I'll kneel here and not get up." The old patriarch raised his head, his old face full of stubbornness.
Zuan: "..."
Although he felt somewhat apologetic, he did not like the other party's attempt to morally blackmail him.
With a casual wave of his hand, a gentle force helped the old patriarch to his feet.
The old patriarch was somewhat surprised that his strength was so unfathomable. He knew that as the head of the patriarch, if he didn't want to get up, how could anyone else help him?
"Do you think what I'm doing is a bit ridiculous?" As if he could see through Zu'an's thoughts, the old patriarch sighed, "Actually, I didn't want to do this either, but now that things have come to this, I can only tell you the truth."
"It's not that we old folks are being stubborn and insisting that Chang'e marry someone she doesn't love. It's just that it relates to an ancient prophecy. The greatest priest in the history of our Chang clan once made a prophecy that our clan would one day face a catastrophe of extinction. Only a holy maiden named Chang'e and a hero named Yi from the Youqiong clan can avert this great disaster through marriage."
Zuan frowned repeatedly upon hearing this: "This is feudal superstition. How could the rise and fall of a tribe be related to a woman, let alone name her?"
“You wouldn’t dare say that,” the old patriarch hurriedly waved his hand and said, “That was our Chang clan’s greatest priest, who was a prophet throughout his life, and all his prophecies came true.”
“Actually, we were a little skeptical about this at first. After all, how could people from so long ago know that there would be a woman named Chang’e in the future? And how could there be a man named Yi in the Qiong clan?” A look of fear appeared on his face. “But more than ten years ago, a woman from our clan returned seriously injured. Before she died, she gave birth to a baby girl. Her mother did not know about the prophecy from back then and named her E.”
The old patriarch took a deep breath: "You have no idea how shocked we elders were when we heard this name."
“We initially thought it was just a coincidence, and even sent people to investigate the Youqiong clan. Who knew there really was a boy named Yi there, and he had the same token as Chang'e. According to the elders of the Youqiong clan, it was a betrothal arranged by his father, and the other half of the token was with his future wife.”
Noticing the other person's gaze, the Mermaid Queen subconsciously picked up the pendant resembling a deep-sea harp from her waist. Her expression changed: "This is..."
At this moment, the old clan chief dug up the crystallized earth where Yi had died and found another pendant in a corner.
The pendant looked similar to the one in the mermaid queen's hand, and they were symmetrical. The mermaid queen subconsciously took them and brought the two pendants together with both hands. They fit together perfectly!
For a moment, she felt a sense of disorientation. There was a legend about her birth, in which she had this pendant in her mouth. It was later discovered that it was a special magical artifact that could directly transform into a deep-sea harp. Because of this, she was considered the undisputed successor to the mermaid queen.
At first, the Chang family regarded her as a saintess, but she thought they had mistaken her for someone else.
But now it seems that I really do have some connection with that Chang'e.
Zuan took the two pendants. Individually, they resembled the Harp of the Deep Sea, but together they formed a jade disc like a full moon. He thought of some legends about Chang'e and the moon, and his expression changed.
The old clan chief then said, "When I learned that Yi was dead, I was completely devastated. The Youqiong clan had already declined and disappeared, but I couldn't just watch the Chang clan perish like this, so I resorted to this desperate measure."
Seeing that Zuan remained silent, he looked at the mermaid queen beside him: "Chang'e, how have your people treated you all these years?"
"Very good." The Mermaid Queen pursed her lips. Although she didn't have many memories of the past, after coming to this world, the surrounding living environment and all the details showed that the previous Chang'e must have been pampered like a princess.
"Since that's the case, please consider our past relationship and save our clan." The old clan leader said, and was about to kneel down to pay his respects to her again, which startled the mermaid queen, who hurriedly helped him up.
She had no choice but to go to Zu An's side and whisper, "Brother Zu, what do we do now?"
